Dear Shelby LaTour:

I was sorry to have read in your letter of appeal the health related challenges you have experienced this term. No doubt they have impacted your studies so, have decided to grant your appeal to drop RELS 229 (W 2019) past the academic deadline.

I encourage you to follow through with your plans to register with the Accommodations Office when you are attending Lakehead University. They should have support services who can help you manage both your health and your academics.

Note that any change in academic registration may impact government or private-firm student financial assistance eligibility and/or funding. Please consult with the Student Awards Office, Office of the University Registrar, Gordon Hall, to understand the potential implications of changes to course or program registration and/or the consequences of not successfully completing the required course load.

Please note that the DR notation will appear on your transcript when the Winter term grades are released on May 12, 2019.

I wish you well in your future program at Lakehead

Yours sincerely,


Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
